Hey samdxb,

nice topic to have. I am also from Big4 and wish to know further details on this count from those who have landed.

Seniors please shed some light on this subject.

If you are working for one of the Big4, the best way to approach is to ask for a transfer to one of the Canadian firms. Usually Big4s are very accomodative of these kinds of requests.

thankgjp.

i had enquired about this transfer stuff but audit firms in Canada are little hesitent to take anybody from Middle East, for simple reason; audit here is pretty straight forward not complex at all.

What do u think?

Try firm to firm transfer. So many ppl specially in 2007/2008 moved to Canada as firms were aggressively hiring qualified and experienced auditors. Ppl i know have now moved to industries and are in pretty good shape

gud luk

transfr is a good option provided the canadian firm willing to do so, i guess canadian frms r also hiring bt i m not sure they r open to people frm middle east?
